Aur\'elien Barrau, Carlo Rovelli, Francesca Vidotto

TL;DR
This paper explores the hypothesis that Fast Radio Bursts may originate from primordial black hole explosions via white hole transitions, estimating their size and energy, and suggesting a potential link between observed signals and black hole physics.
Contribution
It introduces a simple model connecting primordial black hole explosions to Fast Radio Bursts, proposing a novel astrophysical origin for these signals.
Findings
Estimated size of exploding primordial black holes
Calculated power output of the explosion
Suggested a possible connection between FRBs and black hole phenomena
Abstract
We estimate the size of a primordial black hole exploding today via a white hole transition, and the power in the resulting explosion, using a simple model. We point out that Fast Radio Bursts, strong signals with millisecond duration, probably extragalactic and having unknown source, have wavelength not far from the expected size of the exploding hole. We also discuss the possible higher energy components of the signal.
